Famous quotes containing the words quick and/or comments:
“If the quick spirits in your eye
Now languish and anon must die;”
—Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
“Rather would I have the love songs of romantic ages, rather Don Juan and Madame Venus, rather an elopement by ladder and rope on a moonlight night, followed by the father’s curse, mother’s moans, and the moral comments of neighbors, than correctness and propriety measured by yardsticks.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
